Nice, can't tell what they are? From the polish they look like a lightweight alloy though.

all four wheels weighed 61 pounds in boxes, so thats under 20 each. 19x9.5/8.5

got them from oemwheelsplus.com and HIGHLY RECCOMMEND them as a seller. great commnication, great deals, very responsive to anything you need.

highly don't reccommend upiss however, they suck haha.

ohh, and extra 5 mm of flush on the front is wonderful. barely cleared the brakes but they cleared! the rears are exactly the same fitment however the pictures don't really show the fitment because the car just came off a lift and the suspension was needing to recompressed again.

the look is just so much better though. as much as i loved and still love the old wheels, i couldn't stand the constant attention about them and sizing and fitment. these have a more oem look but with a great quality finish and beefy fitment. likeeeee.

yeah, the pictures online show them being more of a natural dark machine finish which is kind of what i was looking for, but these look great the way they are anyways. they do't give off the cheasey silver finish thank god.
